The Goblin Ball Mythology

A mysterious group of Five Ringmasters arrived in the world of The Ice Kingdom. Desolate, cold and uninviting, they assembled their masquerade under the instruction of an anonymous man called Jaggies. Without question they set out to expose the killer of a Phoenix that had travelled to the Ice Garden without fail, every evening. Through tough questioning and amazing detective work the guests concluded that Pintina the Ice Princess was the culprit, much to the dismay of Malphoria the Ice Queen and Hortenz the Ice King. Her punishment was banishment to Ember Rule, the very origin of this mythological being. Before leaving Pintina pocketed a snow apple, the very power of the Ice Kingdom.

On arriving in Ember Rule, Pintina found the Goblin Ball in full swing and welcoming her to inevitable punishment. The Ringmasters had arrived early preempting her attendance with a celebration. The Fire Realm of Ember Rule had Acolytes preparing offerings of gold and light. The glittering palace shone with pride as the accused was introduced. Aghast Pintina learnt that she was born of the Fire Goddess Paiva and Fire God Ebon. Ebon who was a Phoenix and had risen from the ashes thus pardoning Pintina for her crime. With the guests blessing Pintina was bestowed the title of Demigoddess and rose to her power, but not long after stole the Fire Gods heart from a cage and followed Maude to the land of Terra Bayou. Maude had been falsely accused and was to meet with certain death on his arrival and Pintina had many questions about Terra Bayou that she wanted answered. This was exactly to Jaggies plan… however he remained absent.

The evening of The Goblin Ball in Terra Bayou ended abruptly as the potion brewed for Pintina backfired, killing the princess and sending her into the underground. The Barons were confused as the potion was meant to bind her soul to the land of the bayou. Bodhisattva the psychic revealed that she had concocted the potion to ensure swift passage to the afterlife ensuring that Pintina could steal Death, the power of the Bayou. Before leaving

What unspeakable outcome does Jaggies have planned for the Demigoddess or does he have less control than has been seen?

The answers lay within the evening of The Goblin Ball.

What will she gain from Starlantis?

The Ice Queen

The Ice Queen of The Ice Kingdom took the world of Terra Bayou by surprise by turning up at a most opportune moment. Pintina asked for forgiveness however was turned away by her own adoptive mother.

You see their relationship is complex. After kidnapping her at birth The Ice Queen raised Pintina as her own imparting her own coldness and magic. Pintina has been spending these past thousand years exploring what it is to be a complete being and The Ice Queen is not entertained.

What mysteries will be exposed in Starlantis and will The Ice Queen attend the ball? Many questions remain unanswered.

Fire Gods

The Fire Gods are born of light and love.

The Barons

The Barons of Terra Bayou.

The Baron and Baroness of Terra Bayou are not that keen to have their party crashed by an unwelcome guest. They have been ruling over the Thralls of Terra Bayou for quite some time, living the live of opulence.

Marias the Baron loves a good party game and Salete the Baroness loves to love herself. Will you be a friend or a foe of The Barons of Terra Bayou? If you think of double crossing them be sure to do it in secret. They don't take kindly to those who decide to sway from the party.

Be sure to bring something to trade for a song and be rewarded with a gift, those who are unprepared will be cursed with stolen coins and lost souls.

DO NOT trust this siren.

Thralls

The Thralls of Terra Bayou

The Thralls of Terra Bayou sought your help to be freed from the grip of the Barons. From Guillaume who holds the sanguine curse, to Marcand who can tame the siren, the Thralls helped guests negotiate the world of Terra Bayou.

Although good news was not far behind when two thralls were engaged on the night of The Goblin Ball.

The Quest Keeprs

AMAK

Amak, Vile and cold...

The Ice Kingdom doesn't forget those who betray their own kind. Amak was been sent by the Ice Queen to right a wrong and get her daughter back for all of the wrong that has been caused by Pintina's actions.

From the dangerous fired of Ember Rule to the allies of Terra Bayou, Amak always gets his mark. Now Pintina has been granted the power of death Amak is seeking ways to bring her to life so he can kill her himself.

Fantouche

Fantouche The Voodoo Master

The Twin Sister of Maude (pictured) Fantouche is the sister of a Poppet Peddler and the caster of Terramalphoria, the Voodoo magic of Terra Bayou.

Fantouche tried to intercept Pintina from certain death and sided with the Demigoddess to seek retribution for the oppressed Thralls of Terra Bayou. It was in Terra Bayou's best interest to overthrow the evil Barons and gain balance and power within the swampland to return it to it's prior glory.

Unfortunately she was double crossed by Bodhisattva, only time will tell the full story.

Hasina

Hasina the Fire Priestess

Hasina, High Priestess and dealer of forgiveness. Hasina followed Pintina from Ember Rule to ensure the Demigoddess was safe and that no harm should befall her.

Finding an ally in Starlantis Hasina has partnered up with Bodhisattva to make sure that the deal is upheld. No harm should come of Pintina.

Hasina has plans for Pintina that extend beyond The Goblin Ball. Pintina would be offered the opportunity to rule as deity over the human realm of Solis, a land known for it's bounty of gold and riches, however such a job would mean great responsibility. Would Pintina be ready for the job?

Bodhisattva

The Psychic from Starlantis seeks to save... but why?

Bodhisattva, The Psychic of Starlantis comes with a job to do and to serve. The Thralls of Terra Bayou seek freedom however will they find it by aligning themselves with Bodhisattva and Hasina?

Starlantis calls to Pintina from beyond the veil. Her alliance and her dedication to Pintina are unwavering however something is not quite right. Could it be the spirits from the past haunting the great halls of Starlantis, or would it be that a seance is the best way to communicate with those once living?

The Worlds Of The Goblin Ball

The Ice Kingdom

Full of witchcraft and cold hearts, the Ice Kingdom calls to those who wish to wage war on every other realm within the Goblin Kingdom. Those who cast spells of heartless power, build armies and fight to the death are aligned with The Ice Kingdom. If you are cunning, calculating and able to cast your evil ways in the darkness of a snow covered night the Ice Kingdom calls to you.

The Ice Queen Malphoria and her King Hortenz look to seek revenge since their kingdom was diminished by Pintina, and the Ice Queen lost all power. Will you join the fight to get Pintina back for the Ice Kingdom?

Ember Rule

Forgiveness, Ritual worship and riches, Ember Rule seeks those who are pure of heart and find strength in love. The Goblin Ball is a celebration of strength and those who find power in friendship and adoration as their kin. The realm of Ember Rule is warm and inviting to those who seek promotion for their kind and rejection to those who challenge the Gods.

The God Ebon and Goddess Paiva welcome those and reward with great treasure those who worship. Will you come with kind words for their representative Hasina, the high priestess?

Terra Bayou

Terra Bayou is a wasteland of stagnant swamps and evil Swamp Sirens. The Baron Marias and Baroness Salete seek to drown the Thralls in their oppressive rule. Residents of the Bayou must decide if they are seeking to overthrow the Barons for personal gain or for the benefit of the inhabitants. Earth magic called Terramalphoria (the sadness caused by earth magic) is the ruling power and those who master the element of earth are at an advantage.

Seriphone the Swamp siren is not to be trusted lest you pay her a trinket, Marchand keeps her at bay. Do you wish to aid the liberation of the thralls and see Pintina succeed or do you wish the Barons to rule and side with the Ice Kingdom?
